ZION LION

Zion Lion is the “baddest band to hit the Kalamazoo music scene. The members are a combination of several bands from the Kalamazoo area that crossed each others path along the way and decided to form what we believe to be the right mix of reggae. African zouk, mucosa, zoukous and some Afro-latin influences. Some of the members have had the honor of opening and sharing the stage with local, national and international reggae artists such as Freddie McGreggor, Pato Batun, Winston Jarrett, Culture, Beenie Man, Lucky Dube, Mikey Dread and the Meditations.

These musicians have played in small clubs to large cultural festivals including, the Kalamazoo Island Festival, Kalamazoo Black arts festival, Grand Rapids Caribbean Festival, Muskegon Summer Festival, Louisville Reggae Festival and Rock Island Caribbean Festival to name a few.

You can’t help but get up and dance and have an “IRIE FEELIN’ ” whenever you hear Zion Lion.

SOUL PATCH

With its current line-up formed at the end of 2005, Soul Patch is a Traverse City, MI based band with music as versatile as its members. Together they hold a masters in groove. Individually they infuse styles from several backgrounds including, world beat, jazz, reggae, bluegrass, funk, surf, rockabilly, ska, blues, and straight up rock n’ roll. They are always prepared to feel their audience and bring them something they can move to. Their shows are constantly taking on a new form that is inspired on the spot by the borderless space between the band and the listeners. They play songs with purpose but are not afraid to improvise. They play covers from all over the musical world, Motown to modern and everything in between, always making them their own for a fresh unique delivery. Their original music spans three decades and can only be described at eclectic, taking ideas from any one of the three songwriters in the band and plugging them into the musical vessel that is Soul Patch. The output is a sweet ride of Organic grooves for your mind and feet.
